[QUOTE="grassfarmer, post: 354903, member: 5920"] Maybe you should check out the carcass data produced by people using Pharo's bulls? It would refute the claims that these cattle are too small, too fat, too poor growers to make money. Most of the move to "bigger" cattle with higher frame scores has simply meant a move to longer legs and cattle with more air beneath their bellies. As Pharo says this extra six inches of air is worthless - it doesn't weigh anything, you can't eat it but it does substantially increase your cow maintanence costs and feedlot steers production cost.
